Areas of interest:

  1. Improving governance participation
  2. IRL Arbitrum community gatherings

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

  1. Make Token Go Up

  2. Greater vision of the DAO should be to grow Arbitrum, drive adoption of the blockchain and create long term growth and value for not just the token but all impacted users/stakeholders in the Arbitrum ecosystem.

shareholders while enabling people to govern themselves and work towards a common mission without hierarchies.

  1. The goal of the DAO should be to be dynamic, adaptable and flexible to remain relevant and effective, we should not be afraid of making mistakes as long as we keep learning from them. The DAO should iterate on the decentralized governance approval and gather inputs from all members regularly.

  2. ⁠DAO should be able to deal with the complexity of the core protocol, the new businesses (GCP etc) and all activities it undertakes. Sometimes complex issues and decision making structures needed to solve them cannot be represented in a smart contract. Decentralised approach does not mean one size fits all. Complex decisions leading up to a vote while off-chain should still be transparent and widely accessed, to avoid centralized decision making structure. We need to develop structures that can handle this complexity.

  3. ⁠The DAO should aim at providing accessibility to one and all, millions of users from all walks of life and varied backgrounds whether they are programmers, creative artist, an analyst, or something else entirely, there should be a place for them on the blockchain, providing them innovative opportunities and financial freedom with 100% transparency and security especially in more developing economies where gender and all social classes are not equitably represented.

I am at a stage in my life, where simply put I’m looking for something more, a way to again impact the world and bring a positive change. As an Architect and City planner, I’ve spent my entire professional life building social communities, physical landscapes and democratic spaces which are spaces of trust, built for everyone and built by everyone. Translating the same to digital spaces, I am interested in improving access and trust of users with enhanced security of the blockchain through on and off chain (IRL) community participation.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

How would you vote?

  • Against

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

  • The proposal should be amended or adapted to ensure the oversight committee and allocation committee are well separated to avoid a conflicts of interest. The process for selecting vendors should be public and verifiable with a mechanism for the DAO to review such decisions (either explicitly or via optimistic governance)

How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?

  • Centralization of decision making can surely speed up moves but if it comes at the cost of the protocol being compromised on ethical grounds or negligence of security issues then caution is needed.

    Sample Voting Issue 2:

Outside the flipping of the vote, how would you choose to handle this situation?

The parties should be reimbursed fully if the protocol is in a position to, but those receiving compensation should also be mindful that if the cost of doing so is so onerous that the protocol is abandoned means that everyone is worse off.

Just as the returns from successful protocols are shared in part by all, so must the pain when they fail to perform.
